This, with S. Clarkei, S. subcapitatus from Ceylon and the Deccan 
Peninsula, and two other species from Sumatra and the mountains near 
Kiukiang (Province Kiangsi in China, both referred to S. subcapitatus by 
C. B. Clarke) form a group of closely allied but geographically widely 
separated species. S. pakapakensis approaches most closely the Kiukiang 
plant, which differs mainly in having the lowest spikelet subsessile whilst the 
following, if more than one, are more or less distantly arranged on a slender 
m? 
axis, and in the smaller, frequently more acute glumes.
